Hyman, Richard (2007) An Anglo-European perspective on industrial relations research. Arbetsmarknad and Arbetsliv , 13 (3-4). pp. 29-41. ISSN 1400-9692
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this paper I review approaches to industrial relations research in Britain and in continental western Europe. My aim is to explore the diversity of traditions towards the analysis of the world of work, not only within Europe but also between Britain and the USA. My core argument differs in important respects from that of Bruce Kaufman: if the field of 'traditional' industrial relations scholarship is in decline and disarray in America, the situation in Europe is very different: recent years have seen moves towards a fruitful synthesis of the diversity of understandings of our field of study.

Residents of Harg met with developer Billy Sapp Wednesday to sign a statement signaling they would not oppose his latest request to have the city annex more than 800 acres that he plans to develop east of Columbia.
Harg residents petitioned to block the Columbia City Council from voting on Sapp's two previous requests to have land along Route WW annexed. The residents primarily worried about how the development would affect traffic on the state highway.
The statement of intent spells out expectations for the development and includes sections that address the maximum density of new development and the addition of shoulders on Route WW.
Both parties agree the document is not a legal contract. Some projects listed in the statement would require the cooperation of city or county agencies.
The City Council is scheduled to vote on Sapp's request during its meeting on Tuesday, which begins at 7 p.m. in the council chambers.

Brick Water Repellents
DEAR TIM: I have a problem with my brick veneer house. It develops leaks during wind driven rains. I can't seem to locate the source of the leaks. I purchased a brick sealer to solve my problem. I saw water repellents at the store, but the salesperson said they don't work as well. What do you think? B. N.
DEAR B. N.: Slow down! Do you still have the receipt for the sealer? You may need it. The sealer you purchased may actually harm your brick house. A water repellent may be a better choice.
The leaks you are experiencing are normal. Brick walls are by no means waterproof. Unfortunately, many homeowners think just the opposite. Bricks and mortar have a great capacity to absorb water. Both contain tiny passageways that actually suck water into the wall. Water can also enter through tiny cracks between the bricks and mortar.
Water leakage into older homes is rarely noticeable. These houses often were constructed using two or three layers of brick or block behind the face brick. As such, they can often absorb all of the rain water until such time as a storm passes. When the sun appears after the storm, the water is released back into the atmosphere through the tiny passageways. In your case, you only have one layer of brick. Once this layer has been breached, the water finds its way into your house.
Look again for cracks or small holes in the mortar. Pay particular attention to the small vertical (head) joints between each brick. This is the most likely place where water is entering. Rarely are these joints filled solid with mortar. The horizontal joints (bed) in your brick wall are usually filled solid and resist water penetration. If you find small holes or cracks, repair these before applying any coating.
There are two categories of clear brick coatings: film forming sealants and penetrating water repellents. Film forming sealants create a continuous barrier on the surface of the brick and mortar. They block the tiny passageways in the brick and mortar. Not only will they stop water from getting into the brick, but they also stop water from getting out. These compounds frequently contain acrylics, mineral waxes (paraffin), urethanes, and silicone resins.
Water repellents work in a different way. These products are designed to penetrate deeply into the brick and mortar. Some can reach as far as 3/8 inch into the surface. They coat the insides of the tiny passageways in the brick and mortar. However, the passageways remain open allowing the brick and mortar to breathe. These water repellents often contain silanes, siloxanes, or a blend of these chemicals.
Film forming sealants can cloud and haze over. They can contribute to brick spalling (flaking) in colder climates. Water repellents rarely discolor brick. Because they soak into the brick and mortar, sunlight has a tough time breaking them down. Check the label on your product to see what chemicals it contains. If it is a film forming sealant, think long and hard before applying it to your brick.
12 Responses to Brick Water Repellents
I am planning to use brick for a backsplash in my kitchen and wish to seal it so i can keep it clean and it will not stain from coffee, red wine or other soil.
What should I use to seal this brick?
Thank you.
can u give me the name of a good brick water repellent
I need to get my repellent ordered and sprayed on my house before the upcoming hurricane season. Is there a particular brand you recommend?
What brand of brick sealant is the best and last the longest for exterior brick homes? Can I get a professional grade sealant that I can apply myself?
I have a 1930's semi that is rendered and painted. Do I need a sealant or a repellant?
During recent building work inside the house the bulder removed internal plaster and said the walls were 'soaking' - and suggested I apply sealant externally. But do I want sealant or repellant? -
Everytime it rains, water comes n my basement. How do I solve this problem .

Management has been great, but some tenants here are hard to live with. Some tenants show no pride for their Read Morehomes, leaving their fast food trash or even diapers in the parking lot. Cigarette butts are flung anywhere and everywhere, including the bush outside my front door. There were 2 occasions where water was needed to stop a fire.

Kagome is an ordinary modern schoolgirl living an ordinary life. Who would have thought the dried-up old well on the site of her family's shrine would be a gateway to Japan's ancient past? Drawn through the gate against her will, Kagome finds herself battling demons for control of what she thought was a worthless trinket but is actually a powerful magical gem, the Shikon Jewel! Together with an unlikely ally, the half demon Inuyasha, Kagome begins a quest to recover the shards of the Shikon Jewel and learn more about her link to the past.
Inuyasha and friends lose a mortal enemy, but not before they receive a shocking message. Then Inuyasha and Sesshomaru learn the story behind their blades' awesome powers...one that is yet to be finished as the truth pits brother against brother. Meanwhile, their arch-nemesis Naraku strives to corrupt the spark of purity Kikyo managed to instill in the Shikon Jewel. Things get briefly less serious when Shippo enters a fox demon competition... Kagome learns a piece of critical lore about the Shikon Jewelas well as the secret behind the incredible powers she cannot access. But then Naraku takes on a particularly malevolent new form!

Roswell that Ends Well Event
Loveless Park - Roswell 11.14.09
The resident aliens have been nudged to let us join them once again for a blowout event in the state's southeast corner. Plan to be there at 9am for some serious schmoozing to be followed by a hunt sure to be full of well-done caches. Not to be missed as these folks can throw one heck of a party. Rumor has it that at least one alien had such a good time last year that he missed the return to the mothership and has been living in a large cache..

The Santa Fe 400th Anniversary
The Railyard - Santa Fe
As with all Reynolds Clan events, this was a unique experience and a lot of fun. Those who rode the train had an added pleasure and the compact tour of the Railyard area that could be done on foot was a nice twist. The short timeframe (about 3 hours) allowed cachers to continue caching in Santa Fe or just have a brief caching fix and do other things they needed to do. When the bears throw a party, it should be a must-do.

FOND DU LAC The goal of a replacement program is to develop a group of replacements that will consistently contribute to profitability of the farm. A cow must produce over 31,000 pounds of milk before she pays a producer back for the costs that are stuck into her the first two years of her life. Genomics helps to more accurately identify the females with the greatest future potential to genetically improve the herd. This allows a producer to eliminate unnecessary replacement heifers earlier in their life and keep the ones with the most genetic potential. Pat Hoffman, University of Extension Dairy specialist, says now that genomics has come along as a tool for improving herds some of the other technologies that have come into play in the last couple of years could be even more profitable if they are used in combination with genomics. He points out that if a producer invests extra money in an accelerated feeding program, for instance, it would be beneficial to know that the animals being fed will actually produce more and will not be limited by genetic factors. During a recent reproduction workshop in Fond du Lac, Dr. Hoffman talked about taking blood samples or hair follicle samples of young animals to look at the potential for milk production and components. Using this information a producer can look at potential culls, and determine which animals might be better to try young sires on and which ones to use the most expensive sires or sexed semen. Doing the math, he points out that culling the bottom 15-25 percent of heifers creates a big effect on the genetic improvement of the herd. Looking at the practical applications of the wide variety of technology that has been developed in recent years, he said sometimes one fights against the other. Looking at heifers he said, "If we see her in heat we don't necessarily breed her if she isn't big enough." He points out that already there is big variances in the age a heifer is bred and when using sexed semen there would be even more extremes. Dr. Hoffman suggests age might be a better guide rather than size. Looking at the carryover effect of age at first calving on first lactation milk yield, he said production goes up between 20-24 months at calving but then levels off. The difference, however, is she is on feed four months longer before calving. "The object is to get them into the herd earlier, even if you lose a little in the first lactation milk but in her lifetime you get more milk because of having more days on milk," he said. "You need to look at entry and exit age, not just the age she enters the herd." When a herd is milked three times a day rather than two times, there will be 16 extra days of milk by getting her into the herd earlier, he points out. Housing is also a factor that influences when a heifer is brought into the herd. In a stall barn, one cow must leave in order to make room for a new heifer that freshens. In a parlor situation, that's not necessarily the case. "You need to manage, not the averages but the variance. The trick is to get the variance as narrow as possible. Consistency is important in bringing heifers in at the same age," Dr. Hoffman notes. With all the technology coming quickly he said it will be important to think about how these technologies are actually on a collision course.

Musically and personally, I strongly feel that diversity and openness are key in a person's development: when we move outside of our comfort zone and embrace the unknown, we are better able to grow as musicians (and human beings). As a performer, I feel that performing with musicians of different backgrounds is a constant source of inspiration and engaging music. As an educator, I emphasize the role of music as a form of expression and its parallel to verbal language. As children, we learn words and sentences so that we can accurately and gracefully express ourselves and, in this sense, music is no different. I encourage students to enjoy the music-making process and to view mechanics as a means to an end. I have been dedicated to the drums since the age of 9 and since then I have been
In these lessons our focus is mainly on hand drumming, teaching the student techniques and styles for various styles of hand drums from around the world including; Bongos, Congas, Djembe, etc...
- Develop good time keeping skills by playing with a metronome or click track or all ready recorded music
- Study basic hand strokes specific to the student's type of drum
- Learn proper hand position
- Gain knowledge of the origins and history of various types of hand drums
- Play and read rhythms specific to the student's type of drum
- Learn the proper way to hold and position drums
My musical career started at age 3 when my parents placed a pair of drum sticks in my hands. I started playing drums in church and then progressed to play in middle school where I was part of the jazz band and orchestra. With some very early lessons, I begin to blossom into a skillful drummer. I then continued to play in bands in high school and, in addition, became a member of the Milford Mill Academy Marching Band. In my sophomore year, I became the section leader of the drum line where I played & mastered the snare drum. I have 2 degrees in music theory from Deer Park Magnet school and Morgan State University. I have performed with many bands from all different musical genres such as gospel, funk, pop, jazz, blues, rock, Latin, reggae, and R&B. In 2004 I became the only drumming ...
For past 8 years, I've been teaching students Pre K- 8th grade to play percussion instruments to create a rhythm and keep a beat. They were taught to explore different percussion instruments. As a music student, you'll learn about drums, tambourines, xylophones, and other instruments you strike, shake, or rub to make music. You will also learn the types and parts of percussion instruments and then explore how pitch changes based on the size of the air column.
*** Studio Equipment *** Upright Piano Yamaha Electric Keyboard, Guitar, Violin, Flute & Drums *** Travel Equipment *** Guitar, Keyboard, *** Specialties *** Early Childhood Music, General Music Education, and Music Therapy.
I can teach set playing as well as concert percussion, including classical snare, marimba, vibraphone, etc.
I have been teaching private lessons for close to 10 years and have been an active performer for even longer, playing in all different types of groups, from rock bands and jazz groups to orchestras and brass bands. I studied music at Frostburg State University (Bachelors) and the Peabody Conservatory (Masters). I can teach just about any age and skill level and cover anything you are interested in learning; whether its a certain style, genre, technique or song. *** Lesson Details *** My lessons are laid back, with a focus on perfecting the basics. Most students work out of a method book appropriate to their skill level. Aside from that we'll also spend time learning songs and pieces of the students choice. With the right amount of effort, you'll know your way around your instrument
I will teach you drums at your house at any location in the Baltimore Metro Area.
Master Percussionist attended Calvert Hall College in Towson Maryland with a four year scholarship in Percussion. Studied under master baton Charles Frietag while at Calvert Hall. The first part of the lesson will concentrate in Drum Rudiments including The Long Roll, Paradiddles, etc. The second part of the lesson will concentrate on learning songs. Songs are encouraged to be selected by the students. The third part on the lesson will address reading drum music if desired by the student. If the student does not wish to learn how to read drum music the second part of the lesson concentrating on fills, learning songs, and learning beats will be expanded. *** Travel Equipment *** Drums at the house *** Specialties *** I specialize in not only rudemental instruction, and teaching ...
I combine the styles of music that you prefer with some kind of method book for reading and theory. No purchasing of music is required. Normal lessons start with the previously assigned material, determining what we need to work on, new material, and ending with things to do at home.
Hi! I'm Sean. I love music and one of my goals in life is to share my love of music with everyone else, in a number of different ways. I'm a senior Music Composition major at UMBC and my primary instrument is guitar. I play a wide range of styles - fingerstyle, classical, rock, jazz, metal, and just about everything in between! My goal is to go to graduate school and become a composer, either in freelance or work in academia. I'm teaching guitar privately to get more teaching experience before I hit the classroom! I strive to have all of my students become balanced musicians. If reading or theory is a soft spot, we'll apply your strengths and catch up quickly. I also think that being interested in the music that you're playing is incredibly important when learning an instrument. I try

Summary: REFLECT: Supporting Active Listening and Grounding on the Web through Restatement Abstract Interfaces for supporting public discussion on the web confound speaking and listening. We argue that we can design interfaces that make it easier for discussants/collaborators to find common ground by better engaging the motivations of listeners, and, in turn, help facilitate more meaningful large-scale discussions. In this paper, we (1) call attention to the potential of listening as a practical concept for CSCW design and (2) describe a novel interface called Reflect that nudges people to restate what others are saying.

dc.description.abstract | This paper is a case study of the academic performance of two groups of postgraduate students. Group A was taught by online mode and Group B by face-to-face method, by the same lecturer, in a master's degree programme in educational administration, at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona. The course "Theories of Organizations" is a one-semester course usually offered in the first semester every academic session. The performances of the two groups of postgraduate students were compared in the mid-semester, end-of-semester, and the overall assessments. It was found that the online students performed better than face-to-face students in the mid-semester assessment, while face-to-face students performed better than online students in the final assessment. The final overall results for the course indicated a significant difference in the performance of both groups of students, with the face-to-face group having a better overall performance than the online group. This paper also discussed the problems encountered by both groups of students, other problems identified by the course lecturer, and the implications of all the findings for postgraduate education at UWI and in the Caribbean region | en |

Henry Tapia was the best for the losing club with 23 points. German Recio and Elvis Contreras concluded with 18 and 12 points.
Sportif Sfaxien led 8-7 and 16-15 at the technical time-outs. Deportivo La Romana tied at 20-all when Emmanuel Lara blocked Ben Abdallah. The Tunisian club won the next point via the spike by Ben Abdallah but German Recio hit back from the Dominican side. Trailing 21-20, Recio landed his spike and then blocked Ben Abdallah for the lead 23-22. Noureddine Hfaiedh and Henry Tapia exchanged kills and Kelvyn Campechano blocked Hfaeidh for the 25-23 score in favor of La Romana.
Recio's hit off the Tunisian block gave La Romana an 8-7 lead in the second set. The Dominicans trailed 14-13 when Tapia parlayed spike and ace but Hakim Zouari evened at 15. Then Recio provided the edge 16-15 for La Romana. Tunisian Ismail Moalla's spike and big serve tied the score at 20 only two see how Lara and Recio scored for La Romana for the 22-20 margin. The second set concluded 25-22 for the Dominican side.
Sportif Sfaxien led 8-6 and 16-13 at the TTO with Moalla and Ben Abdallah as the most productive attackers. The Tunisian side was in front 20-15 when the coach of La Romana called for time-out. The Dominicans rallied to reduce the deficit to 20-18 following the spike by Tapia. Recio scored with a tip following the big serve by Elvis Contreras and then Lara scored after another huge serve by Contreras for the tie at 20-all. Sportif Sfaxien took the set 25-23 when Zouari blocked Contreras.
Ben Abdallah broke the tie at 7 with a cannon shot from the right side and the Tunisian representative went on to build a 14-10 advantage. The score at the second TTO favored Sportif Sfaxien 16-11. Zouari attacked and then blocked Lara for the seven-point difference at 18-11. The fourth set closed 25-14 capped by the block by Sellam against Pedro Garcia.
It was a close battle in the tie-breaker with both sides playing hearts-out. At 6-6 Zouari blocked Tapia and then Tapia's spike sailed long for an 8-6 advantage of Sportif. The margin grew up to 11-7 with the spike by Ben Abdallah and a wild attack by Recio. The set concluded 15-11 for the Tunisian club.

Malaysian transport authorities taken to task amid spate of fatal bus accidents
PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The authorities in Malaysia in charge of road transport were taken to task for failing to introduce any meaningful improvements to safety, in particular among express buses.
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health chairman, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, expressed his disappointment with the authorities over their failure to implement the 51 recommendations of an independent advisory panel to prevent fatal accidents involving buses.
"If only some if not all of the recommendations had been implemented, we would not have to continue reading stories of fatal bus accidents in the papers," he said when contacted by The Star on Monday.
Following the recent spate of deadly bus accidents in the past few years, Mr Lee was made chair of the advisory panel set up to review and recommend improvements to this critical service.

Free coworking stresses the importance of community building and social capital
Veröffentlicht am 10. April 2012 von Felix Schürholz in Kategorie: CoWorking Basics, Konzeptionelles, CoWorking Kultur, CoWorking News International, Meinung, Videos | Trackback URL | Zur DiskussionAlready one of the great fruits of the widespread discussion on free coworking is the acknowledgement that paid coworking has lost its bearings in many instances. Alex Hillman on his blog dangerouslyawesome puts it like this: "MANY paid coworking spaces aren't differentiating themselves from business centers and aren't keeping in line with the coworking core values. Social capital is often missing from the exchange between the provider and the member." I fully agree with Alex!!!
To address these aspects free coworking stresses the importance of shared/common projects of the coworkers, social capital and community building. In this article I like to look particularly at the last two namely community building and social capital.
Up to now community building in coworking spaces has largely if not exclusively been the task of the coworking space operator or manager. This is and was fine in a time where coworking was just starting up and developing. In Germany for example in 2009, when coworking started to spread across the country, many coworking operators felt as if they had "invented coworking" themselves. While this was always said with a smile, there was some real truth in it. In those days and in many instances today coworking space operators were and are still pioneers. It was normal that they would take care and focus on community building in their individual spaces.
But times have changed and things have developed a great deal. With several hundred coworking spaces worldwide now, there is a huge knowledge base now that every new operator can draw upon. On top of that there is now a wonderful physical network of spaces worldwide that did not exist before. Now coworkers can travel through the world and they will find a coworking space in nearly every major city of the world. With this network in place I believe there should also be a shift in terms of community building in coworking.
Now the coworkers themselves should become more active in community building. This community building can take various forms. One aspect can be in carrying out various jobs within the space itself as is done in the free coworking model of Gangplank. One task or role here is called "the anchor" (see video below).
Another task of community building should take place on the internet. It is very easy, there are many facebook groups on coworking or meetup groups already. But the focus of these groups is largely local and limited by the functions that facebook or meetup offers. For free coworking to develop we need an infrastructure that is owned and developed by the coworkers themselves. Fortunately we have already started a tool which we like to develop with everybody who feels that coworkers themselves should be more active in community building. The tool is the "Free Coworking Skill Sharing". With its latest development we particularly focussed on team building, which we believe is essential for the spread of free coworking.
Coworkers, get involved!!! Now is the time that coworkers themselves should take more responsibility for their communities. In the great wikipedia article on community building, Lew Feldstein is quoted as follows:"We must learn to view the world through a social capital lens" … "We need to look at front porches as crime fighting tools, treat picnics as public health efforts and see choral groups as occasions of democracy…". I like to add:"We should see coworking spaces as places for vital social exchanges and a base for a new sustainable economy."
For more information on free coworking, please refer to our resource page.

-->-- '''PaulAndStorm''', "Frogger! The Frogger Musical"
''Frogger'' is an arcade game introduced in 1981. It was developed by Creator/{{Konami}}, and licensed for worldwide distribution by Creator/{{Sega}}/Gremlin. The game is regarded as a classic and was noted for its novel gameplay and theme. ''Frogger'' is still popular and versions can be found on many Internet game sites, as well as having spawned numerous sequels for a variety of systems.
The object of the game is to direct frogs to their homes one by one. To do this, each frog must avoid cars while crossing a busy road and navigate a river full of hazards. The skillful player may obtain many bonuses along the way.
The player starts with three frogs (lives). The player guides a frog which starts at the bottom of the screen. The lower half of the screen contains a five-lane road with motor vehicles, which in various versions include cars, trucks, buses, taxis, bicyclists, motorcycles or some combination thereof, speeding along it horizontally. The upper half of the screen consists of a river with logs, alligators, and turtles, all moving horizontally across the screen. The very top of the screen contains five "frog homes" which are the goals for each frog. Every level is timed; the player must act quickly to finish each level before the time expires.
The only player control is the joystick used to navigate the frog; each push in a direction causes the frog to hop once in that direction. On the bottom half of the screen, the player must successfully guide the frog between opposing lanes of trucks, cars and other vehicles, to avoid becoming roadkill.
The middle of the screen, after the road, contains a median where the player must prepare to navigate the river.
By jumping on swiftly moving logs and the backs of turtles, the player can guide his or her frog safely to one of the empty lilypads. For some odd reason, the frog cannot swim. The player must avoid alligators, snakes and otters in the river, but may catch bugs or escort a lady frog for bonuses. When all five frogs are directed home, the game progresses to the next, harder level.
Konami and Sega had a legal battle over who owned ''Frogger''. Despite this, the original ''Frogger'' was the final licensed game ever produced and released for the Sega Genesis in 1998 (as well as the SNES) and Konami would bring installments of ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' to Sega consoles, and several years later Konami itself developed and published a ''Frogger'' game for the Nintendo3DS, simply titled ''Frogger [[SuperTitle64Advance 3D]]'' (not to be confused with the FanNickname of the first Frogger game with polygonal graphics).
''Frogger'' was also featured in a subplot of an episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''.
!!This series has examples of:
* AnimatedAdaptation: Yes...there was a Frogger cartoon show, as part of ''SaturdaySupercade''. No, it didn't feature him just jumping over things.
* AnthropomorphicShift: The games from 2001 to 2005 made him more of a MascotWithAttitude.
* ArtEvolution: Previously, the protagonist looked more like a bullfrog, but he is a green tree frog in the Nintendo3DS game.
* DifficultyByAcceleration: The obstacles speed up after completing a screen.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: The original game was limited to drowning or being flattened by a vehicle, and maybe the occasional alligator. Other games in the series got a little more creative. The 1997 ''Frogger'' alone had: being mauled by a dog, crushed between spiked walls, ''getting run over by a lawnmower'', etc.
** In Frogger 3D, you have all those deaths, except [[BlackBlood green blood oozes from Frogger]]. No wonder it was rated E10+.
* FrogsAndToads: To be expected from a game called ''Frogger'', of course.
* NintendoHard
* NostalgiaLevel: The classic level shows up a ''lot''.
* OneHitPointWonder
* {{Retraux}}: The Nintendo3DS version has the original level as a playable intro and replicates the sound and graphics as well. (After it's completed, it zooms out to an arcade machine displaying it and shows a frog hopping off it.)
* SequelNumberSnarl: There are three different games called ''Frogger II'': A sequel to the original, a sequel to the first 3D ''Frogger'', and another sequel to the original, for [=XBox=] Live Arcade.
* SpiritualSuccessor: The Australian mobile game ''Crossy Road''. It's the same concept, but with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and an endless, randomly generated level.
** Lampshaded by the unlockable Doge character from the above game; 'So clone' will appear on the screen occasionally, aside from other things.
* SuperDrowningSkills: And you're a frog. It's left up to the player's imagination as to ''why'', but go figure.
** {{HandWave}}d in some editions as the currents being too fast and dangerous for a frog to navigate. Reasonable in that real life frogs hang around ponds and swamps, not fast flowing rivers.
** Frogger 3D also parodies this trope: if you drown in the water, you get the [[InUniverse]] [[FridgeLogic "Frogs can't swim?"]] achievement.
** It's never mentioned in-game, but the [[AllThereInTheManual manual]] for Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge (the ''third'' game) reveals that Frogger suffers from a [[NoodleIncident never-described]] childhood trauma involving water. The suggestion is that jumping into water gives him a panic attack, causing him to flail and drown. Still doesn't explain why every other playable character (including frogs) [[PlotHole has exactly the same problem]].
* TimedMission: You have limited time to get your frog home safely.
!!The original game has examples of:
* OneUp: Noteworthy in that it is difficult to earn as classic arcade games go. Getting all five frogs home safely is worth about 4,000 points; the default setting for an extra life is 20,000 points, which means you need to survive about five levels. And that's the only extra life you can earn.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Both played straight and inverted. The previously mentioned Inu no Omawari-san, along with Yankee Doodle[[note]]which is recognized in Japan as the clapping song "Alps no Ichiman Jaku"[[/note]] and Camptown Races are among the straight examples...
* RealSongThemeTune: ... However, four of the themes are copyrighted {{Anime}} themes, providing the inversion. They come from ''Rascal the Racoon'' (used as the main gameplay theme), ''Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps'', ''Hana no Ko Lunlun'' (split into two jingles), and ''Moero Arthur: Hakuba no Ouji'' (which was actually a second season of another show).
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Killer snakes and gators, plus annoyingly fickle turtles.
* WordPureeTitle
!!Other games in the series have examples of:
[[folder:Frogger (1997)]]
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The Sewer Zone levels.
* AntiClimax: The final level, Tropical Trouble, is a huge letdown for being very easy.
* BlackoutBasement: Dark Dark Cavern, which requires you to eat a firefly to be able to see farther.
* BubblyClouds: The Cloud Zone levels.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: Alongside the five retro levels, there are several stages that are just more difficult versions of preceding levels. A common element of these is that obstacles move much faster.
** Spinning Lillies is a rehash of Lily Islands, except it's now night, and, as the name implies, every lily pad spins. A baby frog location was moved to a whole new area, at least.
** Bow Wow Revenge is a recycled version of Bow Wow Falls, though it did add a new area in the bottom left corner of the map.
** Loonier Balloons is, quite obviously, a different version of Looney Balloons. Very little of it was changed.
** Crumbled Point is a reused Cactus Point. The obstacle increase is turned UpToEleven for this level, though.
** The dreaded Big Boulder Alley, which takes Boulder Alley and ups the ante to the extreme. In addition to increasing the already annoying amount of obstacles, they even added enemies that weren't in Boulder Alley, and moved two of the baby frog locations.
** Boom Boom Barrel, a remix of Bang Bang Barrel. Once again, little has changed.
* EternalEngine [[HailfirePeaks and]] LethalLavaLand: The Machinery Zone levels.
* GiantSpider: The Cave Zone levels have a few, none more triumphant than in Webs Cavern.
* GoshHornet: Honey Bee Hollow (single-player) and Swarming Frogs (multiplayer).
* JungleJapes: The Jungle Zone's only levels, Tropical Trouble (single-player) and Jungle Rumble (multiplayer).
* TheMaze:
** Webs Cavern included a few mazes of webs to navigate through in order to rescue a baby frog. Made interesting by the fact that you were in a ''very'' dark cave.
** Lava Crush may count as well, as getting the green frog required you to press certain switches in the correct order, and sometimes with careful timing.
* NintendoHard
* ShiftingSandLand: The Desert Zone levels.
* ShoutOut: The last level in the Sewer Zone is called [[Film/ReservoirDogs Reservoir Frogs]].
* SpritePolygonMix: The flies are all sprites in this game.
* StealthPun: The level Time Flies.
* UndergroundLevel: The Cave Zone levels.
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Frogger Goes Skiing, where you, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin go skiing]].
[[folder:Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Frogger seems to have no trouble surviving being in space, despite having SuperDrowningSkills.
* BuildLikeAnEgyptian: Pyramid Climb.
* CollectionSidequest: There are 25 coins in every level, and collecting all of them unlocks a Super Retro Level.
* GenderFlip: Lillie.
* GreenHillZone: The training area.
* IndyEscape: Boulder Canyon plays this up, where you have to rescue a baby frog on the trap that sets off the boulder.
* LethalLavaLand: Lava Palaver.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: This game took the opposite direction of the {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s mentioned above and went more comical, such as Frogger inflating after getting stung by a bee or being flung up to the camera.
* MinecartMadness: The mines provides a section where you hop across three mine carts to avoid the obstacles.
* {{Retraux}}: The Super Retro Levels are done entirely in retraux style, with the cars, water, logs, turtles, and basically everything except the frogs themselves looking exactly like they did in the original arcade game.
* SequelDifficultyDrop: This one is generally much milder and tamer compared to its NintendoHard predecessor, mainly because the levels are now linear and the baby frogs serve as checkpoints. Also, the levels are filled with extra lives and you now get a move that lets you hop across two squares at once.
* TimedMission: Averted surprisingly, unless you are on Hard Mode or are playing the Super Retro Levels.

July 24, 1841, to Dec.12,1918 Miss Sarah Lyles, of the Double Springs section, died December 12th, at the home of her brother J. T. Lyles. Miss Lyles had spent her entire life in the Double Springs community, and was highly regarded by a wide circle of friends on account of her splendid Christian character. She was a life-long member of the Double Springs Methodist church, and as long as her health permitted was a regular attendant upon its services. The interment took place at Double Springs on December 14, the funeral services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Foster Speer.

married Oby C. Lyles June 4, 1913 September 25, 1890, to December 21, 1918 Our community was saddened Sunday morning when it was known that Mrs. O. C. Lyles, of West Union, had died Saturday night. While it was known that Mrs. Lyles was in declining health, it was not realized that her end was so near. She had been unwell for about a year and had only recently returned from a hospital at Ashville, N. C., where she had been for treatment. Those of her friends who had been permitted to see her were hopeful that she had been benefited, especially when they came in contact with her sunny smile and cheerful disposition, even in her severe illness. On Saturday night she became worse, apparently, and her physician was summoned. He saw her for some little time and pronounced her better, and went home. She went to sleep, and in a little while her husband went to her bed to see how she was resting, and found that her spirit had taken its flight. Before her marriage to Mr. Lyles she was a Miss Davis, of Liberty, Pickens County. She was 28 years of age the 25th of last September. For several years after their marriage, five years ago, she and Mr. Lyles were in charge of the West Union school, but she had to give up her part of it about a year ago. She leaves surviving her husband, O. C. Lyles, of West Union; her father, mother and one sister, of Liberty, and one brother at Camp Meade, Md. This brother was unable to reach here in time for the funeral. About two months ago, another brother, who was at Camp Sevier, S. C., died of influenza and was buried at Liberty. Her remains were laid to rest in West View cemetery Monday afternoon, the funeral being conducted by her pastor, Rev. Foster Speer of the Methodist Church. Her life had been one filled with good deeds and the noble Christian influence she exercised over the children she taught will continue to grow in the lives of those children. But her reward was not to be of this world, and the Master called her home. There are many who join with The Courier in extending to the bereaved ones sincere sympathy in their sorrow.

1846 to 1925 from The Keowee Courier, May 1925 There are many in Oconee who will learn with regret of the death of J. T. Lyles, a well-known citizen of the Mountain Rest section of Oconee, who passed away last Friday afternoon at the home of his son, O. C. Lyles, of High Hill, Darlington County. The deceased had been in declining health for quite a while, and last year it was decided that it would be best for him to go to the home of his son, where he could have advantage of constant attention and be nearer to physicians. Mr. Lyles was a native of Oconee and spent practically all of his life in this section, living the greater part of his 79 years in the Mountain Rest section. He would have rounded out his 79th year had he lived until the 30th of May. His wife died some 25 years ago. Four children survive him -- J. Robert Lyles and O. C. Lyles, of Darlington county, and Miss Amy Lyles and W. C. Lyles who reside in the Mountain Rest section. The body of Mr. Lyles was brought to Walhalla last Saturday, and it was taken on to the old home community for interment Sunday morning in the Double Springs cemetery. Rev. R. L. Doggett, pastor of the Double Springs church, conducted the services. There are many who will join with The Courier in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones in their sorrow. Mr. Lyles was a splendid citizen, honest and honorable in all his dealings with his fellow men, and he will be greatly missed in his community and wherever he was known. |
Final rites for Miss Amey Lyles, who died Friday in Darlington, were held from Double Springs Methodist Church Sunday with the Rev. J. H. Montgomery officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery. Nephews served as pall-bearers. She is survived by one brother, O. C. Lyles of Darlington, and several nieces and nephews. |
